You can READ!
Katie with the FIRST book SHE READ all by herself, "Mat".
Katie, at times, you seem less determined to read than Ella, but when presented with a book, you dive right in, as if you already know you have the ability but just don't feel like showing off for me (or anyone else for that matter). Like everything, you do it for yourself and no one else.... a very admirable trait, I might add.
Ella's first book SHE READ by herself, "I Like Bugs".
You have read it so many times now you pretty much have it memorized, but in the beginning you diligently sounded out each word until you figured each one out. The only word you really had difficulty with was, 'any', which has increased my respect for reading teachers by tenfold. Seriously, 'y' sounds like "yha" except sometimes when it sounds like "ee" -- go figure? I was amazed at the perseverance and determination you showed getting through this book the first time. It's as if some internal "reading clock" has gone off you and you are bound and determined to read everything that crosses your line of vision. One of my greatest hopes for you both is that you love reading as much as I do.
